Skullcandy, the #1 selling brand in stereo headphones 1 and true wireless earbuds 2 under $100 announced today a limited-edition collaboration with Doritos, the #1 flavored tortilla chip brand 3 . The exclusive drop reimagines the Skullcandy SLYR Multi-Platform Gaming Headset and Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds in Doritos Red with a zesty UV-reactive "blacklight" effect that looks right at home alongside dialed-in RGB setups. Ideal for gaming at home or on-the-go, the limited-edition Skullcandy x Doritos drop is available now for purchase exclusively on Skullcandy.com and will ship mid-February.

"Skullcandy and self-expression are synonymous and this drop is no different. Together with Doritos, we're adding a little flavor to a space traditionally saturated with muted colorways, allowing gamers to stand out from the competition," said Derek Steiner , Director of Global Brand Partnerships, Skullcandy. "The SLYR and Dime 2 are the ideal products for this collab, both accessible and packed with flavor so gamers can boldly be themselves. The duo provides the best of both worlds – SLYR for gaming at home and Dime 2 for on-the-go mobile sessions."

The newly-launched SLYR delivers rich, detailed audio, crystal-clear communication and all-day comfort. With premium audio drivers, SLYR delivers Supreme Sound and additional features designed to maximize the gaming experience. Next-level, in-game audio depth ensures that users not only hear enemies creeping up from behind, but also the roar of the crowd. The ultra-compact Dime 2 earbuds are easy to carry for gaming on the go, and packed with features, including built-in Tile-finding technology so users never have to worry about losing their buds.
